I think that's partly my fault, Mom Whig. Two weeks ago i made the mistake of coming onto this week's chatboard last week, thinking I was on the right chatboard, but didn't realize my mistake until 15 minutes later! I guess this was the consequence of notfying Harry about it and having him correct my faux pas.
